Azhar Subedar is an Islamist with a busy schedule. One August day he is at a terror-related mosque in Boca Raton, Florida. The next, he is wakeboarding with someone whom the FBI alleged was a fundraiser for the Taliban. Two days later, he was at a global youth event, in Dallas, Texas, hosted by the US State Department. This past May, Subedar attended a Ramadan celebration at the White House, the invitation of which was from President Joe Biden, himself. Why would a radical Muslim be invited to an official gathering by the State Department or be allowed to step foot into the White House? This is no doubt a threat to national security.
Subedar was born and raised in Canada, which may have contributed to his strong animus towards France; he refers to French people as “conniving.” Subedar currently resides in Texas, where he presides as the imam of the Plano-based Islamic Association of Collin County (IACC), but spends much time in Florida, as well. He too has a fervent dislike towards Floridians. In September 2017, he wrote on his social media, “Stupid + American = Floridians.”
The Boca mosque that Subedar attended (and where he said he had a “fantastic evening”) was the Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR), an institution founded by individuals linked to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) that received its seed money from an al-Qaeda-related charity. Co-founder Bassem Alhalabi, who before coming to ICBR was an assistant to PIJ leader Sami al-Arian, is currently ICBR Secretary and Registered Agent for ICBR’s corporation. The mosque’s website previously featured an essay labeling Jews “people of treachery and betrayal” and discussing a Judgement Day when Muslims will “fight the Jews and kill them.”
The Taliban-linked individual who Subedar went wakeboarding with (and this was not the first time) was Izhar Khan, an imam who, in May 2011, was arrested and detained for his alleged participation in a scheme to ship $50,000 to the Taliban for the purpose of murdering US troops overseas. Though the court determined Khan “posed a danger” to others, ultimately he was released from jail by a sympathetic judge. Khan is the spiritual leader of Masjid Jamaat-ul-Mumineen (MJAM), a mosque that promotes texts on its website labeling Jews and Christians “enemies,” mandating death for gays, and sanctioning domestic violence against women.
Subedar’s involvement with ICBR and Khan is no aberration. He proudly surrounds himself with such radicals. One is Muslim activist Abdur Rahman Al-Ghani, who has used Facebook to attack Jews, gays and America. Subedar refers to him as “my dear brother.” Another is Shafayat Mohamed, founder/imam of the Darul Uloom Institute (DUI), what has been a haven for al-Qaeda operatives. Mohamed has been thrown off a number of county boards for his extreme rhetoric against gays. Subedar calls him his “mentor.” Subedar has also fundraised and participated in events for Islamic Relief (IR), a group that has been banned by several nations.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
